Fr. Tom is quite passionate about the good work that our parish has been doing in Chimbote, Peru. Helping to build homes for the poorest of the poor in Chimbote has had an impact on him and it can have an impact on you too. You can be part of this mission by donating to the St. Michael Homes Campaign. If you are feeling even more adventurous you can attend the mission in July!

Join us for 40 Hours of Devotion - From 6:00 p.m. Mass on Thursday, March 21st to 10:00 a.m. Mass on Saturday, March 23rd, we will offer 40 Hours of prayer with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. Our prayer is that we may turn away from our own sin and encourage one another to do the same. During Lent, we are invited to pray for one another - that our Lenten prayer, fasting, and giving may bear good fruit. We also pray for the many needs of our sisters and brothers in Christ around the world. Please sign up for an hour or more of Adoration. We need at least two adorers scheduled for every hour including the hours throughout both nights.

The Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis learned Thursday night that hackers outside of the United States compromised an Image-I-Nation Technologies (INT) database that contained personal information on some employees and volunteers in the Archdiocese. INT, a vendor used by the company that conducts our background checks advised that it is sending notifications to all persons whose information may have been accessed. We are sending this notice so that if you receive a letter from INT, you know that it is authentic. We will continue to follow up with INT and our vendor about this problem.

Just before Christmas, Judge Robert Kressel signed the order closing the Archdiocese’s bankruptcy case. In October the judge approved a joint plan of reorganization reached with abuse survivors. The process of distributing payments to victims of abuse has already begun.  At the same time, all lawsuits against individual parishes including St. Michael have been dismissed. Archbishop Hebda acknowledged that our efforts to reach out to those hurt by people in the Church is just beginning and will continue indefinitely, along with our core commitment of creating and maintain safe environments for all. St. Michael remains 100% compliant with all the safe environment procedures. We appreciate your patience when you are asked to go through the necessary screening before doing any volunteer work with children or vulnerable adults.
